Spec1al 10 The GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-CongreSs-
man Wilson was excused from congress
to-day. He arranged pair with Knute
Nelson, and leaves for home tomorrow
morning. Congressman Macdonald
shrewdly managed to get in two more
memorials to-day, with orders to print
in the Congressional record, by unan-
imOus consent. They were memorial
of the Minnesota legislature favOring
extending the time for additional bounty
to certain veterans, and a memorial
from the same body in favor of the eX-
tension of the pension arrears act.
Congressman Rice was especially
pleased to hear of the appoint
ment of William Lee, and that
the nomination had been sent to the SEN
ate. He said: Mr.. Lee is undoubt
edly the choice of the people. The
highest compliment to him was the fact
that there was no other candidate. He
is an experienced business man, and
will certainly give good and satisfac-
tory administration. The long delay in
the matter of the
NORTHFIELD POSTMASTEPSHIP
concluded to-day in the nomination of
Mr.. Kennedy. His competitor, Memo
bles, was warmly supported by Kelly
and Doran, and the circumstances in
duced the president to carefully exam
inc the case. Congressman Macdonald
says: 1.-The appointment is good one
and will give general satisfaction. Mr..
Kennedy is mayor of NOrthfield, having
defeated his Republican competition
which is sufficient evidence of his popu-
larity. After careful consideration of
all the papers and facts before me. l
felt bound in duty to support his candi-
dacy.
Mrs. Sabin and Mrs. Davis to-day
called OH the ladies of the supreme
court. and Mrs. Davis also returned the
call of Mrs. Macdonald.
At the instance of President James ].
Hill. of the Manitoba railroad, and of
Mr.. Kelsoe, of the KelsOe farm, in the
Rcd river valley, Hon. Knute Nelson
has been making arrangements with the
department of agriculture to get some
Russian spring seed wheat imported for
use i'll the Red river valley. Expert
mentS have already been made with the
whe at in the province of Manitoba, and
it is found TO be equally hard and good
for milling purposes as Scotch Fife, and
is said to ripen twenty to thirty days
earlier. The commissioner of agri-
culture to-day promised to make an eff
fort to get it between now and March.
He will use the telegraph to facilitate

Stolen Bonds Found.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 19.-The
chief of police of this city to-day found
bonds to the amount of S1O,5O0 secreted
under the floor of the house recently oc-
cupied by the burglars who were cap
tured here last week. The bonds are
part of the $4,000 stolen in Tompkins-
vile, KY, few weeks ago, when that
town was sacked and burned. One of
the five burglars, now on his way to
Tompkinsville in the custody of a
Knoxville officer, to-day made
confession and told where
his share of the booty could
be found. The fact was telegraphed to
Knoxville and the bonds were soon
found buried in an earthen jar. A tele-
gram from Glasgow, KY, states that the
burglars expect to be lynched as soon as
they reach Tompkinsville. Four of the
FIVE are named Reeves, and their
mother is now under arrest in Knox
vile. Two of them are wanted for
murder of the sheriff at Terre Haute,
Ind, a year ago. 1t has been discov-
cred that they were perfecting plot to
rob all the banks in Knoxville this
week

was seconded by Charley Mitchell and
Ned DOnnelly and was attended by
Charles ROwell. Messrs. Fleming and
Harding acted as time-keepers and um-
pires. The fight was remarkable for
the persistent wrestling of the men. In
the fourth round Smith was knocked
nearly silly by a terrific smack on
the ear. Though Smith had the
worst of the falls he fought splendidly
under great difficulties, and was as
fresh as Kilrain when darkness stopped
the fight at 4:45. One hundred and
six rounds were fought, lasting two and
a half hours. The party left the Paris
R0uen train at the village of BOrShieres,
whence they
TRANIPED ACROSS MUDDY FIELDS
and marshy lands to the river, where
there was a steam launch lying along
side the bank. The party included
Lord De Clifford, the Marquis of Queens
bury, Sir Hugh DrummOnd, Hon. Mr.
Sandys and Capt. Lee Barber. The
launch took all hands on board and
steamed to the scene selected for the
fight. There great difficulty was
experienced i'll getting a good
site for the ring on account of the
deep mud. Eventually an excellent
ring was pitched. kilrain fought at 1S4
pounds and Smith at $50 pounds, a
heavier weight than he has fought at
heretofore. Smiths caster was thrown
into the ring, and was Immediately fol-
lowed by Kilrain's beaver. The fight
commenced at 2:10 p. m. Itwas lively
and energetic battle for the first three
rounds, quick give and take,
with close sparring. In the
fourth round Kilrain got in. giving
Smith a smash on the ear, which ap-
peared to stun him. In the wrestling
which formed feature of number of
succeeding rounds, Smith was no match
for the American. He had the worst of
every fall, Kilrain each time coming
down heavily on his PROSTATE form.
The fight was declared draw. The
men reached Paris at late hour to-
night, after a tedious journey. The bet
ting was on Smith at the start, Yeering
to kilrain later
THERE WAS MUCH WRESTLING
instead of fighting. Kilrain had the
best at the start and forced the fighting.
Kilrain had the advantage in the wrest-
ling. In the eighteenth round Kilrain
hit Smith on the left ear, causing a
swelling the size of an egg and knocked
him down. hilraln'S right eye was
closed. The fight varied until the fif-
teenth round, when Kilrain led until
the nineteenth, knocking down Smith
three times and being knocked down him
self once. Smiths ear-swelling burst,
TO his great relief. After the nineteenth
round Smiths strength returned, and he
held his own. He had the best of the
last six rounds, both men fighting as
quickly and as strongly as at
the start. The referee ordered
that the fight be resumed
tomorrow, but later Smith and Kilrain
expressed mutual respect for each other,
swore eternal friendship, agreed to con-
slider the fight draw, and pledged each
other to fight Sullivan. The general
opinion is that the fight was the gamest
heavy weight contest of the present
generation.
Smith was first to appear on the scene.
The men shook hands, and the princi-
pals and their seconds retired to their

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia decision
was rendered by the supreme court, in
the case of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company against Richard Mares, brought
here by writ of error to the supreme

a judgment awarding $4,000 damages
to Richard Mares, a brakeman in the
employ of the Northern Pacific Rail
road company, who lost both legs in an
accident caused, it was alleged, by the
carelessness and incOmpetency of a

ployed by the railroad company. This

dainty and satisfactorily appears that the

charge of the court below fairly and
with an accurate statement of the law
applicable to the relation between the
parties. There being no error in the
record, the Judgment is affirmed.
